    A college degree is a clear advantage in a competitive job market, but a bachelor’s degree isn’t the only ticket to a good living.Careers in fields such as health care, manufacturing and information technology offer median earnings of up to $55,000 or more for graduates with an associate degree, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    Over the long run, people with four-year college degrees and graduate educations earn more on average than workers who spend just a few years in school. But you don’t necessarily have to invest a lot of time and money in a four-year degree to get ahead. In some cases, new research confirms, a quicker education can lead to a good-paying job.

    many who go straight to a four year university get paid more then someone who just goes to a two year college. its because university is a higher level then college. you can get done with school faster if you go to a four year because you already know what to do. i would honestly prefer to go to a four year university if i had the money.
